[1/32 Trumpeter Harrier GR9. Worst kit l ever built!]

You made it look awesome in the end though! You made a silk purse out of that pigs ear!

[1/48 F-18 Prototype 1978]

Stunning! 

I did the TF-18A prototype ages ago. Colourful but not as good as yours!

Even though this kit from Kittyhawk is the worst version ever, you have delivered a fantastic result. Your dedication to model-making was a must to build this kit. Once again, what a beautiful model...!

 

Cheers, Jos

Thanks Jos

it was a commissioned build so I had to

This is something completely different, and I love it! Thought it was black 'n white, until I saw the yellow bands on the missiles...

On the front of the hood there is a black part. Is that a sort of curtain? Or is it part of het instrument panel?

 

Thanks it was indeed different and it did fel like taping b/w-photos

I think it's some kind of sunscreen.

Incredible effect, thought the photos were black and white until I saw the cockpit, good job!

 

Thanks  yeah I had to check the settings in my camera while shooting because the pics looked black and white

it could have done with a spot of bright colour somewhere. I wanted to add the boarding ladder wich is black and yellow, but the customer said no.

VERY nice build, love the paint!

Speaking of paint, what brands AND COLORS did you use?

Thanks Dave

i used MRP paints, ukrainan white for the underside, swedish darkgray for the light gray (!), gunship gray for the medium gray and a mix of black and gunship gray for the black gray.

Another one bites the dust.
Finished this fun and different project. It's a commission build of a Gripen C but painted up like the Gripen E prototype.
I have to say that I'm, myself, partial to this scheme. It's simply gorgeous and fun to paint.
The kit is the Kittyhawk in 1/48 with a bit of CMK resin and Aires exhausts. And it's a horrible kit as you know...this particular one suffered from the fuselage halves being of different length....
But I'm not griping about the Gripen... I'm a modeller after all :P.
Anyways here is what it ended up like.

Cheers and thanks for the peaks

Excellent work!

I think the slightly weathered look is perfect for an F-14.  I guess I’m admitting I prefer your latest build on the left to the one on the right, but only my opinion.

One day I’ll get going on my Hasegawa 1/72 kit and your build can be an inspiration.

👏👏👏

LoL, thank you

I too prefer a bit of weathering...a sterile and spotless Tomcat is quite boring to the eye. The contrast between the two is kind of interesting in it self... a spotless perfectly new compared with one that have "lived" for decades.

F-14A Tomcat VF-41, late Tamiya 1/48
I've committed yet a Tomcat, it's the final of a duo commissioned.
It's a late cat from Desert Storm with decals from Eduard as well as a cockpit set with 3D printed instruments and PE, really nice set even though the belts were a bit simplistic.
I decided to do a somewhat rugged bird compared to the clean VF-84 I did earlier, a nice contrast I think.
Painted with MRP and slightly weathered with washes and pigments.
Now for the pics!

Cheers!

Another beauty Aigore, you are this forum's Mr Viggen 

 

What are the missiles under the wings? I vaguely remember the Matchbox kit having them.

 

Thanks Bobby it does seem so 😜

They are Rb04 antishipping missiles

 

On 19/08/2023 at 10:54, Electric Indigo said:

Those are the iconic Robot 04 anti ship missiles.

 

Did they come with the kit? The Tarangus release didn't include any armament.

 

 Nope, Maestro after market
